St Martin of Tours, Lyndon
© Ken Ince (view gallery)
Lyndon is a tiny village just over a mile from North Luffenham, right on the very edge of the catchment area of this site. Edith Weston is roughly equidistant and the shores of Rutland Water are also close by to the North. The church of St Martin of Tours sits in very attractive grounds, surrounded by huge trees. Martin was an officer in the Roman army who once cut his robe in half, giving half to a naked begger in the bitter cold. Turning to Christianity he was baptised and, after a struggle, he was discharged from the army. In 370 AD he was made Bishop of Tours and soon after moved to a quiet place where he could lead a medititive life. Throughout his life he showed a genuine concern for every human being, whether poor or rich. He died at the age of 82, and was one of the first non-martyr saints. The church itself is, for the most part, thirteenth and early fourteenth century. The font is thought to be earlier, and may point to the existence of an earlier church here.
